I think the examples should make it more clear. Thanks to the high resolution of the data, you can see subtle changes in the slope (aka relief aka microtopography) that could hint to underlying remains of human settlements (usually some suspicious geometric patterns that you would not expect in a natural terrain).

How do you suggest to change the description to make it less confusing?

Here's another article about the use of such data in South America: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/maya-lase...

Of course, nothing so exciting to be discovered in Switzerland anymore ;)
